Classes presented by the Johnson County Genealogical Society will help your family history research using genetic genealogy. Whether you are just starting to think about taking a DNA test or have already tested yourself, your great aunt and a dozen fourth cousins twice removed, this group is for you.

Let’s turn the Library terrace into a party. We’ll blast some tunes, dance with glow sticks and decorate with chalk at this family-friendly, movement-and-creativity-focused event. Stop by the Library to add your favorite song to our playlist before the party, and get ready to bust out your best dance moves!
